Jesus, Priceless Treasure
Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Johann Franck, 1618-1677 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #431 (2003) Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Hymnal Title: Worship and Rejoice Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure,
source of purest pleasure,
truest friend to me:
Ah, how long I've panted,
and my heart has fainted,
thirsting, Lord, for thee!
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb;
I will suffer nought to hide thee,
nought I ask beside thee.
2 In thine arms I rest me;
foes who would molest me
cannot reach me here.
Though the earth be shaking,
every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear.
Sin and hell in conflict fell
with their bitter storms assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Hence, all fears and sadness,
for the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in.
Those who love the Father,
though the storms may gather,
still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er I here must bear,
still in thee lies purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless treasure! Scripture: Luke 8:24 Languages: English Tune Title: JESU, MEINE FREUDE

Author: Johann Franck, 1618-1677; Catherine Winkworth, 1829-1878 Hymnal: Worship and Service Hymnal #110 (2006) Hymnal Title: Worship and Service Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure,
Fount of purest pleasure,
Truest Friend to me!
Long my heart hath panted,
Till it well-nigh fainted,
Thirsting after Thee!
Thine I am, O spotless Lamb!
I will suffer naught to hide Thee,
Naught I ask beside Thee.
2 In thine arms I rest me,
Foes who would molest me
Cannot reach me here;
Though the earth be shaking,
Every heart be quaking,
Jesus calms my fear;
Sin and hell, in conflict fell,
With their heaviest storms assail me,
Jesus will not fail me.
3 Wealth, I will not heed thee,
Wherefore should I need thee?
Jesus is my joy!
Honors, ye may glisten
But I shall not listen,
Ye the soul destroy!
Want or loss or shame or cross
Ne'er to leave my Lord shall move me,
Since He deigns to love me.
4 Hence, all fear and sadness!
For the Lord of gladness,
Jesus, enters in;
Those who love the Father,
Though the storms may gather,
Still have peace within.
Yea, whate'er I here must bear,
Thou art still my purest pleasure,
Jesus, priceless Treasure!
